Which is pretty good... esp. considering that some ports take months or more to get updated, esp. when security concerns pop up (*cough* java/jdk16 *cough*) ;-) But the point is, that even the author is no magician: should YT decide to switch to a completely different scheme, reverse- engineering that could prove very hard and up to impossible. We're lucky to have youtube-dl, and I hope author and maintainer will keep updating it as often as possible, as they do now. > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Robert Huf= f -cpghost. --=20 Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
